Master developer Nakheel signed a contract worth USD 18 million for a choreographed fountain at The Pointe, its new, USD 218 million waterfront dining and entertainment destination on Dubai’s Palm Jumeirah.

The developer has appointed one of China’s largest fountain specialists, Beijing Water Design, to deliver and operate the fountain, which will cover a 12,000 square metre area of water at the tip of the island, across the bay from Atlantis The Palm.

Operated by Nakheel Malls, the retail arm of Nakheel, The Pointe features nearly 70 restaurants, shops and attractions, with F&B making up some 70 percent of the concepts on offer. There is also a cinema, children’s play area, supermarket, gyms and beauty salons.
